. ALLAN MASON, citizens of the UnitedStates, and residents of New York city, inthe county and State of New York, and Brooklyn, Kings county, New York, respectively, have'inven't-i. ed certain'new and useful Improvements i'nl yse, it'known that we, JOHN Wilson at H ydrocarbon-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

trivance's for effecting more intimate and uniform admixture of the atoms of combus tible 'elenients in hydrocarbon-injecting apparatus, as hereinafter fully described, referonce being made to the accompanying draw ings, injw-h'ich e- Figure-il -isf'a=sectional elevation of a boiler furnace having a hydrocarbon-burner of 0 u r improvedfcontrivance; and Fig. 2 is a longi-' tudinalsectional'elevation of the burner on an .enlarged'scale, and with an additional device which we sometimes employ. I

The improvements in this case are more particularly designed for-burning hydrocarbon gas or vapor, or it may be other combustible gases,produced before and coming to the burner in a vaporous or gaseous condition, as from a retort, preferably arranged in the waste-heat passage, to and; inwhich the oil is fed and vaporized or g'asified on its way. to the burner. We provide a. gas or vapor nozzle (1, closed, or mainly 'so, .a't the nner end, though preferably having,.,a few small direct issues I) thereat, with other i-lateral issues c-through the sides-along itjfor some distance back of the inner end, and'also closed at the outer end, with which we conend, and we arrange this nozzle in the airinlet pipe g, suitably projected into the furnace-chamber h from the frontplatedfor the induction of the air by the suction of. the steam-jet, so as to mix andcombine eitectuually with the numerous fine jets of vapor or gas issuing from the sides of the gas-nozzlen' pipe for directing the incoming or not, as preferred, by which oblique im- For the more effectual impingement of the air on the gas or vapor jets, we will in some 5o cases provide Y branches j to the air-inlet air obliquely on .the gas or vapor jets, in which case the outer end of the air-inlet pipe may be closed pingement still more intimate admixture of v I ,th'e-atom's is eifected. This invention consists of improved conei through the inner end; of the gas or vapor Theinjector-pipe e is preferably fitted nozzle by a screw-joint, and in the outer end of saidnozzleit is fittedby a detachable bushk.

Steam is supplied to injector e from the boiler by the pipe Land the hydrocarbon-vapor is in this example supplied through the jretortspipe (Z, coiled in the heat-fiue'nand ex- 0 5 tending along in the same and through the furnac'eto the burner in any approved. ar-- rangement most suitable for vaporizing the oil, which is to be fed into it above the coil by any approved oontrivance. The retortpipe is arranged in a continuous descending inclination to prevent the lodgment or deposition of carbon or other matters in it.

\Vhile steam will generally be used in the injector for producing the blast, it is to be 7 5 understood that compressed air may be employed, if desired. The retort-pipe may of course be coiled lower down-ms, for instance, in the furnace-011amber-as well. i

What Weclaim, and desire to secure by Lettters Patent, is

The combination, in a hydrocarbon-burner, of the steam 'or compressed-air pipe, the surv rounding gas or vapor pipe having the lateral orifices,,and the air-inlet tube open at the outer end,--having the additional diagonal Y branches, substantially as described.

Signed at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 12th day oflApril, A. D. 1888.
